A Waynesville Christmas tradition

Our Fraser firs are grown pesticide-free in their native soil right here in Waynesville, and every tree is hand-inspected before it leaves the farm.

Fraser fir is the tree Western North Carolina is known for, and for good reason: strong branches that hold heavy ornaments, soft needles that stay on the tree, deep blue-green color, and that unmistakable mountain fragrance. Ours are cut fresh, not shipped in weeks ahead of time.

Brian Boyd, an NC State graduate and certified irrigation specialist, grows North Carolina certified Fraser firs on the family farm. Trees are cut fresh through the season rather than harvested all at once, so what you take home has not been sitting on a lot for weeks.

Why Buy Your Tree From WNC Landscaping

Grown by horticulturists, on our own farm, in the soil Fraser firs actually come from.

  • Grown pesticide-free in native mountain soil on our own Waynesville farm, not trucked in from out of state.
  • Hand-inspected, every tree. Each one is checked before it is sold, so you are not unwrapping a surprise in the living room.
  • Cut fresh for the season. Fresher trees drink better, hold their needles longer, and smell like they should.
  • Cut fresh, not stockpiled. We harvest through the season instead of all at once, so trees are not sitting baled on a lot losing moisture.
  • Real horticulturists. NC State trained, licensed, and certified. If you want to know how to keep it fresh, just ask.
  • Quick and hassle-free. We help you choose it, and we help you load it. The holidays are busy enough.

How to Keep Your Fraser Fir Fresh

A fresh mountain-grown Fraser fir will hold its needles and fragrance right through the holidays if you get these three things right.

Step 1 · Before the stand

Make a fresh cut

Take about half an inch to an inch off the bottom of the trunk right before the tree goes in the stand. Cut straight across, not at an angle.

Once a tree is cut, sap begins sealing the base within a few hours. That seal is what stops it drinking. A fresh cut reopens it. If your tree has been standing in the garage for two days, cut it again.

Step 2 · The first week

Water, and keep watering

Fill the reservoir as soon as the tree is up and check it every single day. A fresh Fraser fir can drink a surprising amount in the first week, sometimes a gallon or more in the first day or two.

Plain tap water is all it needs. Skip the additives, aspirin, sugar, and bleach. None of it beats plain water. Pick a stand that holds at least a gallon.

Never let the base go dry. If the water drops below the cut, the trunk reseals and the tree stops drinking for good.

Step 3 · All season

Keep it away from heat

Heat is what dries a tree out, not time. Keep it clear of heat vents, wood stoves, fireplaces, radiators, and direct sun from a south-facing window.

Cooler rooms hold trees far longer. Lowering the room temperature a few degrees noticeably slows needle drop.

Use LED lights, which run cool. Older incandescent strands put real heat into the branches. Turn lights off when you leave the house or go to bed.

How fresh is it? Run a branch gently through your hand. On a fresh Fraser fir the needles stay put and feel pliable, and the tree still smells like fir. A few dry interior needles are normal on any tree and nothing to worry about. If you want a hand picking one out, just ask us at the lot — that is what we are there for.

Christmas Tree Questions

The things people call and ask us every November.

When do you open, and what are your hours?
We open on Thanksgiving Day and are then open Friday, Saturday and Sunday, 9am to 6pm at both the Jonathan Creek Road retail lot and the Hemphill Road choose-’n-cut field. We stay open for as long as we have trees to sell — there is no fixed closing date, so when the trees are gone, the season is done. The best trees go quickly, especially in the first week, so come early for the best selection.
Where is the Christmas tree lot located?
Our retail lot is at 2436 Jonathan Creek Road, Waynesville, NC 28785, just off I-40 at Exit 20 as you head toward Maggie Valley. Look for the big red barn on the road with the Barn Star Events sign. Choose-‘n-cut is at 624 Hemphill Road, Waynesville. Both locations are open Friday, Saturday and Sunday, 9am to 6pm.
What kind of Christmas trees do you sell?
We specialize in Fraser fir, the tree Western North Carolina is famous for. Fraser fir holds its needles well, has strong branches for heavier ornaments, and keeps its fragrance through the season. Most of what we sell is fresh-cut, with choose-’n-cut available at the Hemphill Road field.
Do you sell live Christmas trees that can be planted?
Only by special arrangement, and we generally steer people away from it. Digging a living tree removes the topsoil along with the rootball, it takes far more labor than cutting, and it costs considerably more than a cut tree. Nearly everyone is happier with a fresh-cut or choose ’n cut Fraser fir. If you have your heart set on a tree to plant, talk to Brian well before the season and we will tell you honestly whether we can do it.
Are your trees grown with pesticides?
No. Our Fraser firs are grown pesticide-free on our own farm here in Waynesville, in their native mountain soil. Every tree is hand-inspected before it is sold.
Do you sell wreaths and garland?
Yes, we make handmade wreaths and garland on site, available in limited supply upon request. Call the lot at (828) 226-0747 or send us a message to ask what is available or to have one set aside.
How do I keep my Fraser fir fresh through Christmas?
Make a fresh cut about an inch off the base before you put it in the stand, keep the reservoir full of plain water from day one, and keep the tree away from heat vents, fireplaces, and direct sun. A fresh-cut mountain Fraser fir can drink a surprising amount of water in the first few days.
Can you help load the tree on my vehicle?
Absolutely. We will help you choose a tree and help you load it for the trip home. Our goal is to make it quick, convenient, and hassle-free, because the holidays are busy enough already.
